Hello again! Thank you for the help - I have it up and working!!! This is great - no more filtering on each machine I'm happening to set up. I have been looking for this for years, not knowing I already had it!!! And I can put as many rules (recipes) on there as I want (unlike a certain mail server, we use at work, made by a certain company out of Redmond, WA). Thanks guys'n'gals!
